Amersham

October 29th, 2015

Time to go adventuring from my new house. The cool thing about where I live now is that I’m right by a canal and country park despite being (almost) in London. So I get this sort of thing right outside:

This Sunday I went exploring along the canal for a bit and then headed into the Chilterns towards Amersham which is the furthest out the Metropolitan line goes – zone nine!

Lovely autumn colours at the moment. The part after the canal was a bit less interesting, mostly because it clouded over.

Coastal

October 17th, 2015

Moving is so stressful! Anyway it’s mostly over now and I’m try to catch up with things I forgot to blog. In this case it’s a walk I did one September afternoon while I was staying with my parents. From their house to Rye, the next town along the coast.

At first it’s very hilly until you get out of Hastings and then it’s dead flat all the way along the coast. In fact, I think the Romney marsh may be technically below sea level. Here I am walking along the embankment that keeps the sea out.

Later on I reached Rye harbour which I think is quite picturesque and I’ve featured on this blog several times before.
